Goa India has many interesting cultural heritage aspects and traditions that are not only interesting to tourists but fundamental to its residential population. While there are many diverse elements to the city and region, Hinduism is the prominent religion, as it is with all of India, much of the architecture, festivals and entertainment is reflective of this. Many tourists visit Goa throughout the year, and are eager to explore the many landmarks and cultural oriented aspects it possesses. Hinduism is an ancient tradition and one of the major religions of the world. There are two primary sacred texts, though there are many writings and oral belief traditions. The Goa hotels are happy to provide luxury accommodations and plenty of cultural information to its guests.
The Portuguese landed and settled in Goa in the early 16th century, and many of the buildings and art reflect the influence the Portuguese settlers had on the society. Meanwhile, the beautiful beaches and scenic views remain on of the strongest reasons tourists visit the area every year. Anjuna Beach is one of the more prominent beaches for the artistic crowds. It draws plenty of painters who are interested expressing on canvas the beautiful scenery.
